"Cochilco’s list of investments for Chilean mining shows a portfolio of 51 projects with the potential to be executed between now and 2030 for US$69 billion, but this will require collaboration between all actors in the industry, because the demands of communities and the environment are growing continuously."
VP EXTERNAL AFFAIRS & COUNTRY MANAGER CHILE, ALBEMARLE
"Albemarle is excited about the creation of a national lithium company to build policy regarding lithium, create opportunities to add value in Chile, develop the value chain within the country, and also to invest more in R&D in the lithium space."
"Projects are going to get bigger and more expensive due to the amount of rock we have to mine and move around to produce the copper needed to meet the demand, especially as ore grades are declining."
"We work very well with the Arizona agencies, the administration, and our state legislature, as they absolutely understand the importance of mining in the state of Arizona."
“Our goal is that by the end of 2023 we have advanced, through high quality exploration, both our Laguna Blanca and Jemi to a point where they are ready for preliminary economic assessments (PEAs).”
